Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-[4-(4-formylbenzoylamino)benzoyl]-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline (0.3 g) in methanol (10 ml) is added gradually sodium borohydride (59 mg) under ice-cooling and the mixture is stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. Water is added to the mixture and the solvent is distilled off under reduced pressure. The resulting residue is extracted with dichloromethane, washed with water, and dried over magnesium sulfate. The solvent is distilled off under reduced pressure and the resulting residue is purified by silica gel column chromatography (eluent; dichloromethane:methanol=50:1), and recrystallized from methanol to give 1-[4-(4-hydroxymethylbenzoylamino)benzoyl]-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline (165 mg) as white powder, m.p. 224.5-225.5° C.
